Hello. Does anyone can tell me how to display the entire pagelinks in a category on my main page? I have set up three different categories and I want the articles in them to be clickable displayed, just to avoid the click on the category-link itself. Please excuse my bad English ;)

Debugging
by Johnny Williamson 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

I'm not seeing any of my debug statements in the appropriate log files. Here are the steps I've taken. 1. Created a local folder in the wiki file structure called 'debug'. (I'll be sure to remove it later.) 2. Created files within that folder and set $wgDebugLogGroups to point to these files within 'LocalSettings.php'. 3. Ran a debug statement using wfDebugLog like so: wfDebugLog( 'myDebugLogAlias', 'Testing Debug!' ); I'm not sure what's going on, but nothings printing to the log files. Not even for the wfDebug global function. Any suggestions? Thanks, Johnny

Custom Namespace Internationalization
by Johnny Williamson 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

I've added several custom namespaces constants to 'includes/Defines.php' then added those associated with a canonical name form to $wgExtraNamespaces in 'LocalSettings.php'. This works just fine and correctly lists all my custom namespaces in the wiki. However, I can't figure out how to provide translations for these forms. I've tried adding the translation to the appropriate Message file in the $namespaceNames array (i.e. 'languages/messages/MessagesEs.php'). However, when switching the wiki language, the standard namespace translations appear correctly, but it doesn't seem to pick up on any translations for my custom namespaces. Any ideas? Thanks for any input. -- Johnny

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Use MySQL for User Login
by Ross Xu 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Actually, an idea just came to my mind ... As we all know, MediaWiki uses MySQL ($wgDBname) for authentication by default already. If we could let user login query go to another database, instead of the default one $wgDBname, that would solve the problem, and it is much easier and simpler than using the Auth viaMySQL extension. The question is ... How could we simply redirect the login query to another database?

Is this possible for creating user accounts like this?
by Ross Xu 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Greetings, I was wondering if user accounts could be created like this ... When a user creates an account over my MediaWiki, it automatically sends me an email for approval; Once I have approved the account, it automatically sends an email to the user for the user to activate. The account won't activate until the user clicks a link in the email. Any idea would be appreciated, Ross __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

How to disable changes tracking in mediawiki
by Allen Lee 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Hi, I'm new to mediawiki and my mediawiki started working 2 days before. First, I've no idea where is convenient to seach in the mailing list archives, so I post a question here. The situation is that the wiki is only used by serveral people, and we don't care the history of all pages. In addition, the wiki is run on a webhost with a limited size of mysql database. I know that changes tracking is one of the most important features of mediawiki. But I just worry about the database size it will consume. Question: 1. Will the "changes tracking" consume a lot of space? 2. Is there any way to disable this feature? Thanks very much. Allen

Re: [Mediawiki-l] issue when saving a page

> But I have to admit: even if refreshing Page 1 solves the problem, it > seems to me you should *not* have to do it. This assumption is WRONG. I can reproduce "the problem". 1. Edit a page, creating [[Test]] 2. Save the page 3. Clicking on "Test", edit & save the page 4. Go back, using "Back" in my browser => The link is still red, until I refresh the page. This is totally normal. When I DO NOT refresh the page and click the red link instead, then my previously entered Text is displayed in "Edit-Mode". Since the red link is: http://mw.domain.tld/index.php?title=Test&action=edit&redlink=1 This is totally normal, too. Conclusion: There is no problem, it's normal behaviour. Best regards, Claus

[Mediawiki] : issue when saving a page
by Pierre Labrecque 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi, A little issue with my Mediawiki site. When I create a new link, then click on it, I get the Edition page (normal). Then I save it and it shows me the page as usual Still normal. But if I click again on my new link, I get AGAIN the Edition page, instead of the page itself. Here are the steps I do: 1- on Page 1, I create a link : [[Page 2]] 2- I click on the Page 2 linké 3- I get the Page 2 in Edition mode, to create it. 4- I type something and save Page 2. 5- It shows me Page 2. 6- If I go back to Page 1 and click on the Page 2 link, I still get the Edition page. I dont think its a normal behavior I havent this problem on all my page, but sometimes only (well.. .sometimes.. .this morning on 50% of my new links). Cache of my IE browser is empty and server Win 2003 rebooted too. Any idea? (Mediawiki 14.1) Thanks in advance! Pierre

Usage stats questions
by Jon Bartlett 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

All, I'm trying to gauge the value of my internal company Wiki, and I want to produce some usage statistics (primarily around pages being read, rather than edited). Typically, things like number of pages read today, or this week etc. Can anyone point me to where either the database structures are described, so I can create some offline queries myself ? Also, anyone know if there is a way to get the Statistics page (Special:Statistics) to Exclude hits from the various indexers/spiders for my internal company Wiki - as currently I suspect the huge number of daily page reads are due to search engines... I think I asked the latter Question before - but got no replies...
